The state-owned power equipment maker Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) will supply equipment worth Rs 40 billion to power utility major NTPC Ltd''s projects in Assam and Maharashtra. NTPC''s board of directors granted both the contracts to BHEL at agreed prices during their meeting on November 26, a well-placed source in NTPC told IANS.
The company will supply main plant packages for NTPC''s 750-MW Bongaigaon plant in Assam and 1,000-MW Mauda plant in Maharashtra. Bongaigaon will be NTPC''s first power plant in Assam, expected to be commissioned by 2011. The Mauda power plant is also expected to be operational at around the same time. NTPC expects to add 22,350 MW of generation capacity during the 11th five-year plan (2007-11). Of this, the central utility would generate as much as 17,830 MW from coal-based power plants.
